Reliable SERVPRO applied mold remediation technicians ensure your Levittown home appears "Like it never even happened."
In the period following property disasters, nerves are raw and straightforward actions or inaction can upset the aggrieved parties. When remediating mold damage, taking care of the human aspects of the loss is essential in addition to fixing the physical problems manifesting in your Levittown home. A professional team like SERVPRO that emphasizes quality customer service is best suited to assist you in overcoming a mold problem.
Of all the things you may want to evaluate when seeking ways to fix your Levittown home after mold damage, the quality of the customer service you might get is the hardest to assess. After all, customer care has no tangible representation. SERVPRO has a long-standing reputation, having operated in the sector for several years. In addition, we take specific steps to reassure our clients they are in good hands.
In a moldy environment, some actions are automatic. For instance, removing and disposing of all porous materials heavily affected by the colonies is necessary. Mold embeds its hyphae deep into the structure of such materials, diminishing the chances of restoring them. Porous materials may include carpets, pads, rugs, and fabric materials. Before removing the materials, we identify in your property, we consult since some, like expensive rugs, may hold sentimental value. You might also want to retain some samples for matching replacements.
Time affects customer service
Time is one of the most sensitive factors when managing any property disaster, including mold contamination. Taking too long to complete the process creates many inconveniences, including limiting access to the property. For example, significant teardown is essential to remove mold colonies from the ceiling area. Such methods cannot be completed while the house or the specific room is still inhabited. Finishing the processes too fast might raise some issues since it may seem that the job is not done satisfactorily.
From the significant experience, our SERVPRO IICRC-certified teams have managed damaged properties, we understand that most time-related problems arise if there is minimal information. You may expect an elaborate restoration procedure that takes time to complete or vice versa. For example, the mold patches staining surfaces may seem like something that you can easily wipe off within a short time. However, wiping is not a solution if the problem starts deep inside the wall.
Getting extra value where a property disaster is involved may not seem realistic. In a moldy house, safety is one aspect that can add extra value. Since mold exposure is not ideal, actions that minimize moldy debris or keep them from spreading are valuable.
Our SERVPRO technicians evaluate the intensity and mold spread patterns to determine the necessary remedial action. If demolition or aggressive cleaning is required, we only start such procedures after containing the affected area. 6-mil plastic sheets set up with PVC pipes create a perfect containment. We also use air filtration devices to remove particulate matter from the air. We can utilize negative air pressure with our devices and channel the contaminated air to the exterior.

A mold infestation works extra hard at damaging your house's aesthetic appeal while also compromising its structural integrity. If you leave it unattended, it might colonize many parts of your home in a short time. Thus, you should immediately contact a certified firm with the technology and expertise to deal with the situation.
SERVPRO has the resources to perform mold remediation in your Levittown home. We can use tools like borescopes to identify mold damage in hard-to-reach areas without compromising the structure of your home. These digital cameras can recognize a mold infestation in hard-to-reach places like behind closed walls, HVAC ductwork, under cabinets, and under stairwells, among others.
Our remediation process mainly involves removing the mold from the contents and structures and conducting a thorough cleaning process. Some of the signs of mold include:
Depending on the infestation's severity, SERVPRO can take about one to five days to complete the remediation process. The factors determining the time it takes to remediate the mold include the severity of the infestation, how long mold has been in your home, and the type of contaminated materials.
To confine the damage to the affected area, our SERVPRO technicians can seal all the windows and other openings and then put-up plastic sheeting around the affected area before establishing negative air pressure. This prevents the spread of mold spores that get airborne.
Our SERVPRO crew can then remove all the damaged materials, mainly the porous ones, including carpets, drywall, and insulation. We also scrub and vacuum all the non-porous surfaces to remove the spores. After removing the contents affected by mold, we spray the affected area with a biocide that kills the remaining mold and prevents further mold growth. Our dehumidifiers and fans finalize the drying process, which denies the remaining spores the conditions to grow again.

Mold belongs to the fungi family – organisms solely responsible for the decomposition of organic material. This means they can cause permanent damage to the structures and contents of your house. They are the main reason why it is vital to dry out materials and structures that have been soaked in water as soon as possible.
At SERVPRO, we have a team of restorers who can perform mold removal in your Levittown residence as fast as possible and dry it out to prevent further growth of mold. We also have specialists in IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) and IEP (Indoor Environmental Professionals). We are qualified and experienced to perform the initial evaluations and tests and provide a protocol that our restoration team is to follow. We can also take the necessary tests and inspections for clearance after completing the remediation process to ensure we have restored mold to safe levels for you to move back in.
During the remediation process, containment is a vital part of SERVPRO protocol to ensure the mold spores do not spread to areas that have not yet been contaminated and protect those occupying the house under operation. Some of the measures we use for containment are:
To prevent mold from returning after a short time, SERVPRO can use thermal imaging cameras to detect areas of high moisture content to determine and cut off the water source.
We can also use our structural cavity drying equipment to dry all structures and contents.To ensure that no mold spores remain, SERVPRO uses a varied mixture of antimicrobials, disinfectants, and sanitizers as the final step in cleaning your house.

There are no single correct remediation responses for your home or business, so choosing the right approach rests on the experience and knowledge of responding team members on our SERVPRO roster. With drywall being a common hosting material, it is important to understand its salvageability in these scenarios.
Before much of the mold removal in Bethpage homes can begin, a thorough inspection is needed for elements like drywall to determine their condition and the severity of mold exposures. This damage assessment checks for physical destruction of the hosting material as well as blatant signs that water or microbial damage has taken hold of the gypsum board. Some of these signs might be:
Early spotting or suspected mold growth that does not yet show physical signs can sometimes be treated with powerful surface cleaning products from our inventory. Antimicrobial and sporicidal products are the foundation of early mold remediation as a non-invasive and gentler approach to aggressive, abrasive cleaning tactics. However, surface treatment might not always be feasible depending on the damage to the hosting element.
Cost-efficiency is one of the most direct measures of the appropriate remediation and restoration response after mold damage in your household. Many property owners prioritize the lower cost against the faster result, though when this priority changes, the techniques of remediation and recovery change in kind. In many cases, even with restorable damage to drywall, removing affected panels and replacing them is often more cost-effective than taking the time to dry and treat with antimicrobial products.
When mold develops in your home or business, there are hundreds of drying and remediation decisions. Calculating the most efficient and cost-effective response is not always easy without the extensive training and professional experience of AMRT-Certified technicians like our SERVPRO of Levittown, Bethpage team. Call us anytime you need us at (516) 261-9600.

An undetected leak in this bathroom led to mold damage. Always look for signs of moisture in your home.
When you discover mold at your Levittown, you should take action to restore preloss conditions. The necessary actions to take vary depending on the type of incident. In some cases, you might even need to vacate the property to pave the way for restoration. To avoid guesswork, you should involve a professional from the start.
Mold damage remediation in your Levittown home can be segmented into different categories of tasks, including cleaning, repairing, and restoration of destroyed areas. That means various skills and tools are necessary to complete the remediation exercise. SERVPRO is well stocked with simple and sophisticated tools for performing different tasks. IICRC certified microbial remediation technicians also evaluate damaged properties and fix the identified problems.
Unlike other issues, mold damage worsens the longer it remains unaddressed. Worsening can mean different things, including contamination of new areas or mold debris spreading from affected areas. Repairing plumbing lines or other leak sources limits the amount of moisture released, thus curtailing the chances of further spreading. Drying wet materials also ensure no further spreading. Since drying requires dehumidifiers, the air currents can distribute loose debris all over. Our SERVPRO IICRC trained technicians prevent this by setting up air-tight containments using plastic sheets.
Cleaning is an essential part of the remediation process and may be necessary for the entire house or just the affected areas. Our SERVPRO technicians base the approach on the contamination levels. If the home is heavily contaminated, we tear down sheetrock and insulation. Such teardown releases significant debris, necessitating general cleaning.
SERVPRO of Levittown, Bethpage is prepared to go the extra mile when you need mold damage remediation services. Call us at (516) 261-9600. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.
